Favre's Final Farewell

As much as I am fan, I'm as sick of Favre’s never-ending retirement as the next non-Wrangler-jeans-wearing guy. He doesn’t realize the number of people asking for one more song keeps dwindling.

You may want to prepare yourself for another eight months of hearing about Brett Favre non-stop. The only question now is, what impact will this have on John Madden's retirement plans?

On April 28, 2009 the sun rose in the east, it set in the west and a Brett Favre comeback rumor began circulating.

The latest from the rumor mill is that Vikings coach Brad Childress and Brett Favre will meet later this week at an “undisclosed location” and discuss the possibility of Favre joining the Minnesota Vikings. It has been reported that there is already a “mutual understanding” that Favre would make up his mind about playing in time to participate fully in mini-camps and training camp.

In defending Favre’s decision to stage a second comeback I have to point out that most of Brett's statistics were very respectable last year despite an injury to his throwing arm, which got worse later in the season. He threw for over 3000 yards. He improved the Jets from 4-12 in '07 to 9-7 in 2008 and the Jets narrowly missed the playoffs-which no sane person would blame solely on him.

The fact of the matter is, Favre doesn't 'suck' nor is he too old to play. He improves any team he is on and could improve the Vikings as well. Furthermore, he has every right in the world to keep playing as long as he has the desires.

But in the fairness to the Jets and their fans I think it's time for Brett Favre to cease with the comebacks and retire for good. Last February he told the Jets he was done and that he meant it. They actually should thank him for retiring because when he did as it most likely led them to Mark Sanchez, a 22-year-old with a bright future instead of a broken-down, nearly 39-year-old carpetbagger interested only in sticking it to the Packers, especially Packers GM Ted Thompson.

It appears that Favre didn't retire from football in February as much as he just didn't want any part of playing for the Jets again.

Brett Favre is like a movie star from the early 80's who's trying to hang around the A-List for a shot at a reality show. Brett you are a shell of your former self. Stay retired and let the league move on

Brett.... come on... take your meds, get a puppy and get a new fishing pole.

Ronda Rousey opens up WWE 'Raw' with moving tribute to Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart
Ronda Rousey opened Monday Night Raw with a touching tribute to WWE legend Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, who died Monday morning after a reported fall at his home in Wesley Chapel, Fla. Neidhart joined the WWE (then the WWF) in 1985 and gained fame as part of the legendary Hart Foundation along with his brother-in-law Bret “The Hitman” Hart. The duo won two tag team championships together. It was Neidhart’s role as a father that Rousey spoke about.

Another horse enters the race at running back for the Raiders
Coming into this preseason, it was assumed that the Oakland Raiders would keep three running backs. Marshawn Lynch would be the starter, Doug Martin would back him up and Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington would battle it out for the No. 3 and final spot. No. 1 will not change as Lynch showed last week against the Detroit Lions that he hasn’t lost anything. But undrafted free agent Chris Warren III has changed the battle for the No.3 spot. As a matter of fact, he just might have changed the battle for No. 2 spot too. That means Martin could go from supposedly pushing Lynch for carries to the roster bubble. It all started with the joint practices with the Lions last week when he bucked Lions
